About The Course

In this course we explore biblical and theological conceptions of human personhood as a foundation for ethical decision making. We addressa range of ethical approaches, evaluating both their theological and biblical underpinnings and their suitability in relation to specific ethical issues and areas. We considerissues in light of their prevalence within the public sphere, exploring how Christian perspectives can be articulated with wisdom, integrity, and grace. Issues covered are likely to include, but aren’t limited to, assisted reproductive technologies, end of life care, and sexuality.
